"McNally earned newcomer honors after scoring six points and grabbing three boards against Big East perennial power Connecticut on Saturday. McNally played 19 minutes off the bench and hit three of his eight shots from the field."

 

Conference Notebook Notables

"Several America East student-athletes had standout performances last week. Albany's Tim Ambrose (Brentwood, N.Y./Our Savior New American School) scored a career-high 24 points against Duke by making 10-of-16 from the field. It was the most points allowed by the Blue Devils to date this season... "

 

Ambrose: 10-16 24pts 4 REBS 29 mins (Duke 111 UA 70)

McNally: 3-8 6pts 3 REBS 19 mins (Uconn 105 Maine 60)

 

How does McNally win????

Probably because Tim Ambrose won it the previous week, December 10-16. See http://www.americaeast.com//pdf4/101814.pd...DB_OEM_ID=14000

 

While I suppose there is no rule saying that the same player can't be ROW more than once in a season, I imagine the conference (or the powers that be) like to mix it up a bit so as to highlight the league's young talent across the board.

It probably takes into account all of the week's games, so that would include Ambrose vs Boise St. - 8 minutes, 2 points, 1 rebound.

It probably has to do to his performance against Boise (or lack off) then McNally's performance.

Irrespective of the Boise State game, T.A's numbers still prevail for the week in question--at least based on the foregoing post! I still think it is because Ambrose won the award the previous week ... .
